Added 1 new A* page:Over the weekend I drew a portrait for another webcomic that they'd asked me very nicely to do some months ago and I'd been putting off. They seem okay with the result so hopefully it will get posted soon and I can link you to it. It was interesting to do because their comic is based on a real person, so I had to draw like specific facial features and stuff instead of just making them up, which is what I usually do.
 
Speaking of that, though, in continuing to draw the storyboards for this episode—which continue to go slowly, ugh...I guess 'cause this episode has a heck of a lot of new sets and people and character interactions to figure out, I dunno—after the first doodle or so of a certain character, I started to notice I was sort of basing them on a vague childhood memory of an old cartoon character, possibly because they were easy to doodle, or maybe it's some Freudian thing, who knows. Anyway for instance see if you can pick them out in this storyboard I drew yesterday, which is actually a layout I've rejected, so it's kind of a spare:

I mean you know it's pretty scribbly, so it could be eh anyone
 
[Update 3/22/16: My old image host lost this image, I'm not sure what it was now : o]
 
Anyway, I'm sure they'll look somewhat different in the final art. >_>
 
And I think maybe I've got something for couches, because we've got one here in Selenis' moon base, suddenly, and I've been drawing them here and there recently in my other daily comic, Sketchy. Which is interesting because I don't have a couch and couldn't fit one in my tiny apartment even if I wanted one. There's also been a lot of snoozing in that comic of late, and I guess there's often sleeping here in A* in a way, since people tend to go into a deep sleep while traveling between star systems (notice how Selenis' hair was a bit longer at the start of this episode?).
 
So, hm. I think it means...that I need to finish these darn storyboards. :P
